Welcome @Travis_Sawchik to the @DrivelineBB team - his first article is about Greg Maddux and pitching command. We've been working hard at quantifying and developing command improvement protocols over the last five years, so this comes at a perfect time!
Thrilled to be joining @DrivelineBB in a part-time capacity to help place a spotlight on research/athletes/training/other cool stuff happening here and around the game. First story? We had Inside Edge grade 19 Greg Maddux starts. What did we learn? x.com/DrivelineBB/st…
He’s backkkkk! @herrera_ivan01

Most people can look at data. Few can break it down without drowning in it. Here’s a simple adjustment I think Oneil Cruz can make—based on one key number: his Attack Angle on fastballs. A quick thread 🧵
To truly confirm this? You’d need in-game biomech data. With a visual like this (👀 purple region), it’s easy to see how loading less up top could tighten things up. 📉 (Note: sample graph—not Cruz)
S/o to our R&D/Baseball Ops team @DrivelineBB this stuff is only a few clicks away for us thanks to them!
Ted Williams knew a thing or two about pulling the ball in the air. AKA pulled “launch angle” batted balls.
Test. Train hard all summer. Retest. PR. Standard protocol.
Bat path is cool
Everyone chases bat speed and a perfect attack angle, but that doesn't tell the whole story. @Justin_Sartori breaks why bat path—the combination of swing path tilt, attack angle, AND attack direction gives you a more well-rounded understanding of how a swing works.

Greg Maddux’s command wasn’t just elite — it was historic. New data shows just how far ahead of the curve he really was. 📊 Full breakdown in our newest blog: drivelinebaseball.com/2025/07/greg-m…
This is peak @MLB team social media right here lol
Oh I’m Vinnie Pasquantino. I hit a lot of home runs.

Another banger from @Justin_Sartori
Why The Best Hitters In MLB Whiff A LOT I wanna circle back to this and talk about why the best hitters in baseball are usually NOT good at making contact and post well above average whiff rates. Lets use Nick Kurtz as an example🧵 1/12
